Don’t Let Fear Kill Your Dream
I don’t believe we were meant to live in fear of what others are going to think of our work or of us. My opinion of my work is the only opinion that really matters.
Making creating a daily habit
I believe that creativity feeds on creativity, meaning the more creativity you put out, the more you get back. I don’t think you just run out. This is why people often give writers the advice to just write something.
Minimalism and Creativity
Over the last year, I’d been thinking and learning a lot about minimalism- minimalism and the environment, minimalism and society, minimalism in the black community, and so on. I was slowly getting rid of things, cleaning out my home, and thinking through what really mattered to me.
Art as Confession
In some ways, art is the artist’s way of confiding and disclosing. It is here that they reveal who they are and what they care about. Often, you can learn more about artists through their work than through asking them a thousand questions.
The art of memorializing
The photo becomes a memorial when it survives past the person or thing photographed, allowing us to later reflect on the moment’s meaning and feeling.
